Phase 01, at 12 o’clock
The Foundation Reset
Calm and rebalance the body’s stress response at its source, shifting the nervous system out of a chronic fight or flight state.
Start with the resetWhy a dual block
You cannot optimize the body until you reboot the nervous system.
The stellate ganglion is a bundle of sympathetic nerves in the neck that helps regulate your stress response. When it stays switched on, the body gets stuck in what is best described as survival mode: the “tired but wired” pattern of sympathetic overdrive.
The Reboot Protocol addresses both sides on two consecutive days. A local anesthetic is placed around the stellate ganglion under real-time ultrasound guidance: the right side on day one, the left side on day two.
- Ultrasound guidedReal-time imaging guides each injection.
- Two days, both sidesRight side on day one, left side on day two.
- Phase one of fourThe reset is the foundation for Repair, Restore and Optimize.
Patient reviews
In their words.
I had forgotten what it felt like to be happy, calm or get good sleep. The DSGB brought those things back and I couldn’t be more thankful.
As a veteran with multiple deployments … within 72 hours I started to find myself happier, more at ease and almost peaceful.
The SGB injections I received were effective and noticeable immediately.
My wife and I both had the SGB here and the experience was top notch.
Awesome treatment all around; I feel better than I have in years.
Individual experiences vary.

Who it is for
Built for people who refuse to slow down.

High-performing professionals
In Tampa’s legal, medical and corporate circles, stress physiology overload is often mistaken for a lack of discipline. It is a chronic pattern of sympathetic overdrive, and it can be addressed at its source.

Veterans and first responders
Restoring the mission-ready mind: a calm, clinical path for service members, veterans and first responders who have spent years in survival mode.

Your two-day protocol
Two days. Both sides.
1
Consultation and Nervous System Evaluation
Day one starts here: a Reboot Vitality clinician reviews your symptoms, history, medications and stress-load patterns.
Day 1: right side
2
Ultrasound-Guided DSGB Injection, Right Side
Day one. Real-time ultrasound guidance is used to place a local anesthetic around the stellate ganglion, to block the sympathetic signal.
Day 2: left side
3
Ultrasound-Guided DSGB Injection, Left Side
Day two, the next day. The same guided injection on the other side of the neck. Treating both sides is what makes it a dual block.
4
20 to 30 Minutes of Monitoring, Each Day
After each injection you rest while the team monitors you. Most patients experience warmth in the face or a sense of heaviness around the eye. These are normal responses and nothing to worry about.
5
Day two. Both sides done.
Each day is outpatient: you go home after monitoring. The process requires minimal downtime.

What is the Reboot Protocol?
It is our dual stellate ganglion block (DSGB). Under real-time ultrasound guidance, a local anesthetic is placed around the stellate ganglion, a bundle of sympathetic nerves in the neck: the right side on day one, then the left side on day two.
What happens over the two days?
Day one: your consultation and nervous system evaluation, the right-side injection, then 20 to 30 minutes of monitoring before you go home. Day two: the left-side injection, monitoring again, and home.
What might I feel during monitoring?
Most patients experience warmth in the face or a sense of heaviness around the eye. These are normal responses and nothing to worry about, and the team stays with you for 20 to 30 minutes before you leave.
Is it covered by insurance?
Coverage varies significantly by insurance carrier and plan type. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify coverage before your first visit. Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit, subject to credit approval.
Who is a good candidate?
Executives, first responders, veterans, athletes and anyone whose performance is being worn down by chronic stress. Your consultation and nervous system evaluation decide whether the protocol is right for you.
